So...you submit something potentially interesting (for whatever reason... to each is own) and then.. don't expect it to be slashdotted? uhm... interesting. I'd like to suscribe to your newsletter MrAndrews.

Have you teried/seen Flattr?
I'm not affiliated with them or anything, I stumbled across that while reading a blog post and I liked the idea. I have yet to find a page that I would give a Flattr to, but the idea is compelling.
I think Orwell would say all farm animals were equally poor, except for the pigs...
So, *almost* everyone is equally poor.
Even if journalism bullshit at the moment, it would be really cool if one day actual reconfigurable chips where available. Imagine downloading the configuration for the next Intel chip, and applying it onto the same board as the previous gen. Or maybe even on-the-fly reconfiguring capabilities, such that certain parts of the processor change to suit the needs of instructions currently executing. Maybe part of the processor can work as a GPU if you are gaming, and as a multithreaded-optimized config if you need heavy computing. Running financial simulation? reconfigure to optimize for it, etc.
That would be really neat! computation power could be used much more efficiently, no?
Try that in an ipad or any other non-keyboard device. I don't think it will work for some of those devices..
I agree with you in that it's not cool to put whatever they think they can as long as its cheap, however I don't understand the upset when we voluntarily (even if some of us might not do it that much, for varying levels of "that much") eat things that are pumped full of artificial color, flavoring, bht, bha and over conservatives, etc etc, which nowadays most food is made with, and manufacturers even tell us about it in the ingredients list!.
The only kind of better food we could possibly eat, short of growing/breeding your own, is organic stuff, without all that extra industrial slime, however how expensive that is? how much "organic" is it?
And then we wonder where all that cancer comes from...
I love Slashdot for this exactly. Even funny posts are replied with correct information, and even then, with even more precise info!
I definitely love the community here
